soft top problem

[thooten122]

My very first question to the forum, ... here goes.
Has anyone had any problems with the rear flaps (corner flaps) on the soft top staying attached to the jeep with the sunroof up and the side and rear windows removed. I don't know if it is a bad design or I need to have mine checked out, but when I have my soft top in this configuration my corner flaps refuse to stay put and flap around in the breeze. I don't have this problem if the sunroof is down and the side and rear windows are removed. Hope this made sense.

Hi,

The only thing i can think of is to check the latches that connect the top to the door rails. if they are latched (snap'd in), there should be enough tension to keep the top from flapping around.

I use the same configuration on mine and have never had a problem with it.

If that doesn't work, it may require the shop to look at it.

Hope this helps!

Thanks....yea, I have already checked that and that's not the problem. Guess I will have to take her in. Or, I could just wait because Spring's coming and the top and doors are coming off anyway

if your latches are secured with the loop pins, and this still happens, take a close look at the bow (number 2, 3 bow, i am not sure what number they call it) that sits directly above the pins. it just floats with grooved ends, on top of a lower bar. you can see this looking above where the pins pull to release the top. If that bow is not sitting properly, it will release tension also.. hope this helps..lowenuf
